War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4304 A Fierce Competition

The rudimentary Supreme Gods from the Divine Offering Land and Profound Energy Land questioned their own existence at this moment. Half of them were injured by the doppelganger of the young woman who was also a rudimentary Supreme God but seemed to possess the strength of her true body. Although they felt slightly dejected, it did not stop them from whispering among themselves.

“Why are we so unlucky as to run into these two monsters?”

“Our battle merits are wasted…”

“In my opinion, this young woman is unlucky as well. She sent her doppelganger here to open a secret realm, but alas, she ran into this middle-aged man. If her true body is here, she might not lose…”

!! Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who overheard the conversation, was enlightened. Their conversation made him wonder why it did not cross his mind to use his doppelganger as well. He had accumulated many battle merits, but he dared not use a lot of battle merits to open a secret realm because he was worried that not many people possessed so many battle merits.

‘I’ll split up with my doppelganger after I leave this secret realm… Why didn’t I think of this before? I wasted twenty years in…. Forget it, I’ll use my doppelganger to open secret realms after this to earn more chaotic points…’

Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel excited at the end of his thoughts.

‘However, I wonder if it’ll work,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself again, ‘Fourth Senior Sister’s doppelganger is able to earn chaotic points here because she’s not here in person. What about the identity token? Will my doppelganger and I be able to combine our chaotic points? Does it need to have its own identity token? This is giving me a headache. Forget it, I’ll give it a try after leaving this secret realm.’

At the end of his thoughts, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention back to the situation in the secret realm. He had suppressed Lang Chun Yuan’s doppelganger so she could only watch from afar. He could see the anger and unwillingness in her eyes, and he could tell that she thought her defeat was due to her doppelganger. Only he knew that even if her true body was here, she still would not be a match for him.

‘I’ve surpassed Fourth Senior Sister… She used to protect me in the past, and now, it’s time for me to protect her,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he glanced at Lang Chun Yuan. He only looked at her briefly to avoid raising suspicion. If his disguise was exposed at this moment, she would be furious.

…

Unsurprisingly, Duan Ling Tian passed all the tests in the secret realm on his own. During the entire time, he felt as though he was walking on thin ice, worried that he would blow his cover. Fortunately, Lang Chun Yuan did not notice anything due to his cautiousness. After leaving, he parted ways with her and the others quickly to avoid exposing himself.

‘I’m finally out. Fourth Senior Sister must feel depressed about encountering me,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh.

The lively Lang Chun Yuan wore a glum expression on her face when she watched Duan Ling Tian pass the tests in the secret realm earlier. He truly wanted to give up the secret realm for her, but he knew that it was impossible for her to accept his kind gesture if she knew who he was.

‘I should try to send my doppelganger into a secret realm,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

In the next moment, his doppelganger from the law of space appeared.

Not long after, Duan Ling Tian discovered that he could send his doppelganger into a secret realm but as a separate entity. This meant that he was unable to claim his doppelganger’s battle merits and chaotic points.

‘This is pointless…’

‘What if I use my doppelganger and rank in the top ten as well? At that time, I’ll hold two places in the top ten ranks,’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, ‘However, there’s less than a decade left before the advanced chaotic region closes… My doppelganger won’t be able to rank in the top ten in such a short time. The fastest way to obtain chaotic points is through the secret realm, and it’ll require battle merits to open secret realms. My doppelganger will have to start from scratch…’

Eventually, Duan Ling Tian abandoned the idea because of time constraints. It was best for his doppelganger to stay with him and help enhance his strength when needed.

‘Currently, I’m invincible among rudimentary Supreme Gods… Even Ning Yi Xuan, who used to be the strongest rudimentary Supreme God in the God Defying World, wasn’t a match for me…’

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, Ning Yi Xuan was the perfect point of reference. Naturally, he knew that it was likely that Ning Yi Xuan was already an intermediate Supreme God now. However, if Ning Yi Xuan was still a rudimentary Supreme God, he would not hesitate to compete against Ning Yi Xuan.

‘I should continue to open multi-person secret realms. Now that everyone’s copying my method, I don’t have to wait too long to enter a secret realm…’

Before the advanced chaotic region opened, many rudimentary Supreme Gods were afraid to open multi-person secret realms because they were afraid of Duan Ling Tian. However, due to the rules in the advanced chaotic region and the chaotic points, they were no longer afraid. After all, they would waste their battle merits at most if they ran into him in a secret realm, and they would still be able to preserve their lives. However, if they did not run into him, they stood a chance of gaining more chaotic points and ranking in the top ten.

…

While Duan Ling Tian waited to enter the next deca-secret realm, a group of rudimentary Supreme Gods, which included descendants of supreme powerhouses, was waiting as well.

“If nothing out of the ordinary happens, Duan Ling Tian should rank first among rudimentary Supreme Gods… I should aim for second or third place…”

“My greatest competitor is Duan Ling Tian, but he’s too strong… I should forget about competing for first place and focus on ranking second or third instead. Fortunately, Ning Yi Xuan has broken through and become an intermediate Supreme God. Otherwise, Ning Yi Xuan would’ve occupied second place!”

“Hmph! I don’t know what was wrong with Hong Zhang Yi. Why didn’t he just kill Duan Ling Tian? He shouldn’t have let Duan Ling Tian go for Ning Yi Xuan’s sake!”

“What a pity that Hong Zhang Yi and his men failed to kill Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, he would’ve done all of us a huge favor!”

Although direct descendants of supreme powerhouses did not lack cultivation resources, cultivation resources that could effectively raise their cultivation were limited. Even if they were favored by the supreme powerhouses, their cultivation bases would stagnate in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God if their innate talent was low. Needless to say, it would be a different story if their supreme powerhouses obtained the divine fountain or something with similar effects. Alas, these things were as rare as a phoenix’s feather even in the Outer Boundary. It was extremely rare that the supreme powerhouse managed to find a divine fountain this time.

“The reward for the advanced chaotic region this time is the best… My great-grandfather hopes that I’ll win a few drops from the divine fountain…”

“My old ancestor said that he asked for a few drops from the divine fountain, but that supreme powerhouse decisively refused him. That supreme powerhouse was adamant that the divine fountain was only used as a reward for the younger generation.”

“My old ancestor told me about it as well. He also said that the supreme powerhouse hopes that we’ll grow swiftly so that there’ll be more supreme powerhouses. It’s said that the situation in the Outer Boundary has taken a turn for the worse…”

“I don’t know about the situation in the Outer Boundary, but my old ancestor used to visit often and preach to us. However, he hasn’t visited for at least 10,000 years. I heard that he has been very busy. It must have something to do with the Outer Boundary.”

The direct descendants of supreme powerhouses were just like ordinary cultivators. They had to accumulate battle merits and open secret realms to earn more chaotic points. Those who were strong enough would pass the tests on their own, but if they ran into someone stronger, they could only blame their luck. Even if they were descendants of supreme powerhouses, no one would give way to them in the advanced chaotic region. The competition was undoubtedly fierce in the advanced chaotic region.
